Hungary: visa decisions in Belarus
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 14,611 | 14,392 | 219 | 1.5% | 73.1% |
| 2024 | 14,284 | 13,953 | 331 | 2.3% | 57.5% |
| 2025 | 14,342 | 14,113 | 178 | 1.2% | 62.1% |
In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Belarus (Minsk) received 14,342 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 14,113. 1.2% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 2.3%. The number of applications was almost unchanged (14,284 in 2024).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 2.3% of the applications lodged in Belarus that year, from 0.4% at the consulates of Italy to 11.2% at those of Lithuania. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Belarus.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Belarus, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
